The other four groups desigted as SDGTs were IS-Somalia, Jund al-Khilafah-Tunisia, IS-Egypt and the Maute Group, and the individuals are Mahad Moalim and Abu Musab al-Barwi. Among other consequences, all property and interests in property of the SDGT designees are blocked, and US persons are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with them. While announcing these desigtions, US Coorditor for Counterterrorism than A. Sales emphasised that “these desigtions target key ISIS-affiliated groups and leaders outside its fallen caliphate in Iraq and Syria. Today’s actions are a critical step in degrading IS’s global network and denying its affiliates the resources they need to plan and carry out terrorist attacks.”
